Well-established perennial beds are the backbone of our garden. Each spring an intensive planting of annuals produce cascades of color. Combined, Sunflower Hill produces over 50 varieties of abundant blooms June through September. And of course, our favorites are sunflowers! We try different types of sunflowers and wherever possible, we choose pollenless varieties.
Our flowers are cut and delivered within 24 hours and are comprised of common and unusual varieties. We take extra care of our blooms by conditioning our flowers - all leaves are stripped from the stems, we "rest" the flowers in buckets of water in a dark area, dip stem ends to kill bacteria, and add floral preservative to our vase water. These steps help to add longer life to the bouquet.
